Hammond Mayor Thomas M. McDermott, Jr. has rescheduled the October 18, 2017 Mayor’s Night Out in the 6th District due to a scheduling conflict.
The new date will be Monday, October 30, 2017 at Galaxy Hall, 6723 Kennedy Avenue from 6:30pm until 8:30pm. Parking is provided at the Hose Connection across the street.
The Mayor’s Night Out Program was initiated by Mayor McDermott in 2004 when it was originally called The Mayor’s Night IN and The Mayor’s Night Out. This program invites residents to join Mayor and all of his administration to come out and present questions and concerns about issues of the day. He was ahead of the curve when he initiated the Mayor’s Night Out Program. Now, everyone refers to these types of live questions from the audience as Town Hall Meetings. “No one was doing this at that time. It was, and still is, the best way for residents to get direct access to their local government, at no cost to them. While the program has evolved over the years, I am very proud of it. It makes constituents feel like their Mayor and his staff is accessible and accountable to the public,” says McDermott.
